REVOLVING-LEAF EXTENSION TABLE.

Application filed February My invention relates to filler leaves for eX-tension tables which are of such construction that they are adapted tobe stored, when not in use, under the permanent table top whereby whenthe table is extended the filler leaf is exposed and in position to berevolved and placed into position as an additional table topr surface.

My invention consists in means secured to the underface of the permanenttable top sections in combination with means cooperating therewith torevolvably support a filler leaf on the table; my invention consistsfurther of the parts and combination of parts vas will be hereinaftermore fully set forth.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the table embodying my invention with thefiller leaf in operative position.

Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of a table top with my invention attachedthereto.

Figure 3 is a cross sectional view through the table top showing thefiller leaf in stored position. A

Figure 4l is a view similar to Figure 3 showing the filler leaf swung tooperative position.

Figure 5 is a view showing the bracket for the leaf in end and sideelevations.

' Figure 6 is a top plan view of the runway.

Figure 7 is an end view of the same.

- Figure 8` is a side elevation of a slide.

Figure 9 is a bottom plan view `of a tabler top showing anotherembodiment of my in-V vention.

Figure 10 is a detail view. The reference numerals 1 and 2 designate thepermanent end top sections of an extension table which are connected tothe' slides 8, which slides in turn are connected to the slides 4.

It is lfrequently necessary to increase the seating capacity of a tableand the usual custom has been to have eXtra leaves stored in a separatebox, which leaves must be brought to the table for use. In accordancewith my invention the leaves are stored permanently under the table top,which broad idea is, of course, old. My invention resides in theparticular means of mount-ing and storing the filler leaves under thetable top.

The reference numeral 5 designates the filler leaf which is formed intwo sections which are secured together by meansofV hinges 6 of anyapproved construction. To

21, 1925. Serial No. 10,874.

the underface of the end sections 1 and 2' of the table I permanentlysecure' a slideway 7 clearly illustrated in Figures -6 and 7 of thedrawing from which it will be seen that these slideways 7 have anunderface ,groove which is formed by rebending the edges of the metalfrom which `the slideway is formed. The filler leaf is provided withbrackets 8y vfor perforations 9 in which a rod V10 is loosely mounted.The ends of the rod 10 are mounted in the perforations of the slides 12,said slides having laterally extending flanges 13 which are adapted toslide in the undercutgrooves of the slideways 7 so that when-the tabletopends 1 and 2 are spaced from each other, as shown in Figure 2, theslides 13 move freely in the slideway `7, a suitable stop being on eachend of the rod 10 to prevent disengagement of the rod from the slides aswill be readily understood. This separation of the table top sections 1and 2 exposes the filler leaf 5 which is revolved on the rod 10 to theposition ways 17 on its underface in alinement with A the slideways 15.A slide comprising arms 16 rand 17 is slidably mounted in the slideways15, and the slide comprising th-e arms 18A and 19 is slidably mountedinthe slides 17 on the filler leaf, and when the parts are assembled thearms 7 of one slide is pivotally secured at 20 to the arm 18 of theslide mounted on the filler leaf whereby the filler leaf may besustained in stored position under the p'ermanent table top or may berevolved to operative position as shown in Figure 1. In connection withthis embodiment the bracket 14, of course, will be used to support thefiller leaf in inoperative position as illustrated in Figure 3.

My invention maybe attached to an eX- tension table of any constructionand the parts embodying my attachment are so simple that they can bemanufactured and put on the market-at a minimum price.

By my invention l am enabled to materially simplify the storage offiller leaves under the permanent table tops of an exten sion table.

am aware that Changes maybe made in the details of Constructionv Withoutdeparting from the scope of the appended Claims'.

What I claim is:

l. In an extension table, the Combination with the permanent topsections, a slideWay secured to the nnderfaee of eaeh section, a fillerleaf, slideWays secured to the underfaee of said leaf, a slide mountedin. each of said slideways and means pivotally eonneeting the slide ofthe ller leaf to the slides of the top sections.

2. In an extension table, the combination with the permanent topsections, a slideway secured to the underface of each section, a slidein each of said slideways, a filler leaf, a. pair of independentslideways secured to the underfaee of said leaf, an independent slide ineach of the leaf slideways7 the' outer ends of the slides of the leafoverlapping secured to the nnderfaee of ea-Cli of said seetions, afiller leaf, slideways secured to the underface of said leaf inalinement with each other, an independent slide mounted in each of saidslideways, With its outer end bent at right angles, and means pivotallyConnecting the bent end of slides on the table sections With the bentends of the slides on the leaf.

l. A support for a filler leaf for extension tables, Comprising fourslideways, and a slide in each of said slideways, one end of each slidebeing bent at right angles, and means pivotally Connecting the rightangle end of one slide to the right angie end of another slide.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

PETER NYHoLM.
